Culture Mapping

copyright 1996, Dean Isaacson “Have a good day.” “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” “Well, I want you to enjoy the day.” “That’s ridiculous! I never heard of such a thing!” The old lady was emphatic as she squinted her eyes and glared at me from her wheelchair. I knew we were not [...]

Dropping the A Bomb on Tolerance and Diversity

By cominus | Published: 12 Aug 2008
This is a reprint from Tandem Vincitur, April 1995: “We’ve found that pigs find even mild sorts of human behavior offensive.” I happened upon that quote while reading the February edition of the World Press Review. This is good ammunition for the animal rights people. Now pigs can determine where people should live and what [...]

Tim Ford, Robin Hunt Controversy

By cominus | Published: 11 Aug 2008
A friend on the Olympic Penninsula asked me to post this. It is rather timely, as I had read in the news how Robin Hunt and establishment cohorts are attacking Tim Ford. And are they ever-able to spin – they make the evil look good and the good look evil. Because Marvin’s take is similar [...]

Are Christians Angry?

By cominus | Published: 10 Aug 2008
This is a reprint from Tandem Vincitur, February 1995: The other day I received an anonymous letter. I can never understand why someone would send their opinions to anybody anonymously. If there is no name, there is no credibility. However, they enclosed a copy of a newspaper editorial by Andrew M Greeley and marked at [...]

Christian confusion with tolerance of diversity

By cominus | Published: 10 Aug 2008

The Fish That Got Away

A Recap of My Trip to the Coast

By cominus | Published: 05 Aug 2008
Friends, Here is a recap of my trip to the coast this weekend (26-29 Jun 2008): Every mile, along Everett-Lynnwood Highway 99, there is a 7-11 store. Some people need that.

    Under the Tower of Babel (1995)
    Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment. No one is looking for substance. But we keep on writing and we think someone will read it. Oh, how we deceive ourselves -- convinced of our own immortality. Words, words, words . . . - cominus
